I think our performances will be improved to the rest of the year.

It will be interesting to see how the AFL reacts and which way they go as to player assistance, if any. As I have said before, money itself will not solve the onfield performance. Coaching, recruiting and development will all play their part.

Redleg there is nothing new in the following however i feel complelled to make it again.

I have always believe you play to win every game.

When the season ends you start worrying about draft picks.

Numerous teams have shown you can build your list without very earlier picks.

The MFC during the period 2008 - 2011 tried to be too clever and we know where that ended.

The AFL knows we are in poor straits both on and off the field.

IMO the team is not capable of winning more than another two or three games at the max for the balance of this year.

We need to remember so far we have beaten GWS and the Dogs who are of similar talent to ourselves.

Baring a miracle I cannot see much improvement for the remainder of the year.

I would love it to and the AFL reduce assistance.

IMO the assistance will not alter between now and the end of the year.

Reality will return next Sunday.

Obviously I am not expecting us to beat the Swans but I think we will play better for the rest of the year.

It is clear that a weight has been lifted off the player's shoulders and as many of us said, our performances were too bad to be true.

the main thing I hope that happens is that Craig perserveres with the younger and new players and gives them games. That said I want Byrnes at Casey. On Rodan's game saturday he deserves another couple.

I agree with you Redleg I just think a win over the Dogs does not prove a lot in the scheme of things. I still think we have a very ordinary list until I see otherwise .

Now if we got to within five goals of the Swans on Sunday then my view might change.

however I think I have now come to the view that Neeld was an ordinary coach.

Craig will get more out of this team especially if he can get two or three back from injury

No time to sit on the fence.

Make your choice clear and without any doubt.

As I think you a leaning towards chocolate but too afraid to say it.

It is the thing called hope, OD. A narrow win over the Dogs doesn't change much, as you said, but at least now there is the prospect of going to the footy without wondering why we bothered on the way home.

Spot on. I now see a glimmer of hope where there was none .

I would add that I was thinking on the way there why I was bothering going!

I could understand that. That sense of dread. Of hope turning to the inevitable malaise. Whatever slivers of joy we extract from season 2013 will be savoured. I dont see the weather as being any much better but over on yonder I thought for a moment I saw a glimmer of blue sky. Like the eye of a storm there is still much rain and wind to endure but its turning from half empty to half full.

Theres an end in sight..and just beyond , anew beginning ( another one lol )

Following Melbourne is a bit like chasing rainbows isnt it !! :rolleyes:

Must be time for morning coffee....and cake :)

BB, it would seem from your first post there that you're heavily reliant on eyesight going forward. I would recommend carrot cake for you at this point!

You know rusty that all stems from the WW2 were the Poms put out the story that they were superior to the Germans in fighter planes because they ate lots of carrots which improved their eye sight.

The reality is was 99% crap and Propaganda.

To get an advantage you needed to eat massive volume of carrots over a long period of time and even then the affect was marginal.

Sound familiar?

Bomber PR department!

Im prepared to eats lots of Carrot cake and take my chances :):rolleyes:

and yes..it was Carrot again today ^_^

Well I was trying to keep Bb's visionary flame burning there OD. Although going by his latest thread it wld appear his positivity hasn't skipped a beat. You seem to have the inside running on carrots. Is there something heroic in your past that you haven't told us about? Retired WW2 ace maybe?

P.S. I think the bombers were eating too many bananas and attracted a few wild monkeys and those monkeys just may have brought in some funny bananas of their own!

Great to hear, or should I say SEE, Bb. Nothing wrong with the humble carrot.

P.S. Rohan Welsh is on SEN soonish. Bout to discuss Casey and Hulk etc for those who're interested.

Gee Rusty I am not that old mate, My father was on the kokoda track does that count.

Do not agree with the Bombers / bananas.

Bananas only bring joy the bombers never do!

I guess that's pushing your age up there a bit OD. Apologies. I should have said Korean :-))

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
